handy little toy for price

Summary: fun for projecting video games and movies at night on walls. got this one bc of price if you have the extra money i would suggest getting one that has a VGA port on it to make it a little more user friendly. never the less the included ipod kit allows me to project Jurassic park and star wars on the wall to watch between class at college.

Good little projector.

Summary: Hooks right into the ipad and in less than a minute you are watching netflix on you wall. The only thing is it runs a little hot after about fifteen minutes and I'm not joking you could fry an egg on the thing, but it is still running strong.

great for price

Summary: this is built pretty impressive for 100. pros: small size of cell phone 2 lithium ion batteries can create huge image (though at quality loss and have to stand far away to achieve it) comes with iphone 40 pin connector cons: takes longer than cell phone to charge no menus or digital settings no battery read out focus wheel very touchy when compared to my full scale dell projector it falls short but the portable factor makes it worthwhile has to be in completely dark room...

For the price and the size, the quality is amazing !

Summary: My girlfriend and I bought this some weeks ago and though this projector wouldn't be appropriated for professional use, as a replacement for a tv, it's really amazing. Of course, you'll need a really dark room, so too bad if you want to use it on a sunny afternoon, if your blinds are not hiding enough light and subtitles might be a bit difficult to read.

informed buyer thinks its a great product

Summary: We scanned the reviews and knew what we were getting. We got this for our 11 year old technically inclined son and he loves it. It does not connect to PC's (see newer version of product), and it does not work in well lit areas (that would have earned it 5 stars), but we were aware of these things before purchasing. We think its great for traveling, kids can watch movies from itouch on wall of hotel room, and for sleepovers.

really sweet little projector.

Summary: Its a really great projector for people who want to experiment with projection. I would not say its great for doing Power Point projection delivery because obviously its quite a small through and not so bring a porjection, but in terms of an instant wow effect, people are very impressed if you show them video from an object smaller than an iphone!

Good for the price.

Summary: Bought this item as a gift for my Dad. He really liked it and is using it for business and personal use. He showes off his diving pictures and videos from his computer with VGA adapter that I got him seperate from the connectors that came with the projector. The image is not very bright, but with the lights off it does a good enough job.

Pleasantly surprised

Summary: I went back and forth about getting this thing because honestly, I didn't need it. But when the price came down I jumped. I was very pleasantly surprised when it came and I tried it out. First, the build is a lot more solid than I thought it would be, not flimsy at all. Second, the picture (in a dark room) is freaking amazing -- even when it's huge it is super clear.

Summary: Personal Experience If you don't expect a lot you won't be disappointed. Image is composite only and down re zed to 480X340. Letterbox is not compressed and has to be done at source. Great for watching in bed projected on ceiling. Sound is very low quality but you can hear something. Batt lasts less than 1 hour at full power so make sure you charge both. 20,000 hr bulb is great but batt and rest of unit will fail long before bulb burns out!! Problems None so far.
